College classes require a lot more effort than high school. Because of this, distractions can be even more irritating while you're trying to study. Using these steps can help avoid and minimize the distractions and make studying easier.
Instructions
1. Time of day. Learn when the best time of the day is best for you to study. Find a good, quiet place for yourself. If you want to study in your dorm, take note of when it's the calmest.
2. Library. This can seem like a given, but sometimes students are intimidated by the library. A lot of libraries have floors that are for individual studying and floors that are for group studying.
3. Comfort. Find a place that is comfortable for you. This may be in the library, your dorm room, outside, or in a lounge.
4. Schedule. If you follow a study schedule, you will find that it can be easier to study. You will know when and where studying is best for you.
5. Roommates. Create a quite time for your dorm room/apartment. You can all get some studying done or just have some peace and quiet.
6. Close the door. When you're in a dorm, keeping your door open is the best way to socialize with people. This is great, but if you don't want any distractions, shut the door during that time.
7. Study rooms. Several buildings on campus will have rooms that are devoted to studying.
8. Public areas. Avoid studying in a public place like the student center if you can't handle that type of noise and activity. Some people can handle it and even prefer it, but for most, it is not an ideal place.
